Used Auto Loan Rates

What is a Used Car Auto Loan?

Usually, the advertised rates that you see for auto loans are for new cars only. That's because with a new car, the value is known and widely accepted. That's not the case with used cars because its value can be a bit harder to pinpoint. Since auto loans are secured by the value of the car, lenders will often charge a slightly higher rate for used car loans.
